| James Taylor said he “really suffered” under eight years of “Cheney/Bush,” while speaking at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. on Friday about election reform. “It was sort of natural, being so politically active over the years, that I would get involved in the campaign of 2008,” Taylor said. “I really—I was hugely motivated also by eight years of Cheney/Bush, and I say it in that order on purpose.” “Those were—it was a tough time for me,” he said. “I really suffered.” “It made me deeply ambivalent about my country that we would

I wonder what percentage of his gross income he paid in income taxes under Bush/Cheney when he was suffering. Gross, not after he took advantage of all of the tax breaks for the evil rich. I wonder what percentage he will pay voluntarily after the Obama tax hikes...

Yeah right James! The booze the drugs the re-hab centers and divorces all happened well before Bush. You learned how to be a jerk long before then! Oddly enough you were able to make a successful comeback in the early 2000s. 2001 — Best Pop Vocal Performance, Male, "Don´t Let Me Be Lonely Tonight" 2003 — Best Country Collaboration With Vocals, "How´s the World Treating You" with Alison Krauss Yeah, makin millions...that´s some real suffering! Shut up and sing.

Nice JT. I used to enjoy your music.
You say this as:
North Korea loads fuel into a missile that Japan has vowed to shoot down.
Morsi in Egypt has his rape squads and torture rooms up and running.
Your buddy, Obama, is spending $1.2 trillion dollars MORE THAN he takes in a year.
Israel is flipped the bird by Obama, as they incur 1000 missile launches from Gaza.
Gas prices more than double since the "dreaded" Bush administration.
Russian subs troll off our waters during the recent "reset" button silliness.
Four Americans die in Benghazi during a 7-hour firefight in which Obama is AWOL.
But you, James Taylor, can relax as you tut-tut the unseemliness of the Bush administration.
You´re an embarrassment and intellectually lazy.

After the mid-70´s you showed us nothin. Nothin. Your eight years, if that, more or less, was it artistically. I have one or more LP´s. Never have I downloaded or played a CD re-release. The LP is pristine, and has not been played, probably since 1978.
Culture is largely forgetting you. In another 8 years, you may be totally forgotten, instead of mostly forgotten. You´re such a hit on minor public television stations.

Lots of suffering in James´ life--father Dean of UNC Medical School, summering on Martha´s Vineyard, prep school, mental unfitness rejection by the Selective Service so he wouldn´t have to serve during Vietnam, heroin use, three marriages.
Seems like most of his "suffering" has been self-inflicted.

"Suffered"? Feh. Words can´t describe what I think of him now. I didn´t mind that he was a lefty; I liked some of his music. But now, I don´t think I´ll listen to his music again. People have a right to their political opinions, but hypocrisy and narcissism are more than I can stand.

Ohhhhh, poor baby James. Former heroin addict and whiny passive aggressive wimp "Sweet Baby James" Taylor is so abused with all his millions made from writing about and selling the tales of his self induced and caused travails. Did Cheney/Bush tax him more? I don´t think so.
Exactly how did the wussy Sweet Baby James suffer? Living on Martha´s Vineyard with heiress and wealthy songwriter and celebrity Carly Simon?

Lord Bell said: "It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning." Baroness Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990. She was the first woman to hold the post. Her family is expected to make a further statement later. Baroness Thatcher, born Margaret Roberts, became the Conservative MP for Finchley, north London in 1959, retiring from the Commons in 1992. Having been education secretary, she successfully challenged former prime minister Edward Heath for her party´s leadership in 1975.

It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her.

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped.
